Nicole, a friend of ours, recently posted a powerful message that we wanted to share with everyone about knowing what it will take to change your life and actually taking action to create those changes – doing whatever it takes…
Ever wonder what it will take to change your life, so you can change your circumstances???
Here’s the Secret of What it Will Take …..
You must change who you’ve been, and elevate yourself to a level through a renewed sense of thinking, to put on the image of who you desire to become!
That means…..
- You change what you do with your time….
- Instead of watching mindless television…
- Shooting the breeze about the latest gossip…
- Wasting time worrying about what other people are doing…
- Reading nonsense like “The Enquirer” or “Sister 2 Sister Magazine”…
- Instead of staying in environments where people don’t desire change and love talking about their pity….
You instead…
- Read more books like “Think & Grow Rich” or “The Dream Giver”…
- Attend church…
- Read Jeremiah 29:11 and rehearse it over and over again….
- Watch positive shows like Oprah’s Masterclass….
- Read Magazines like Success Magazine, Inc Magazine, Black Enterprise…
- Invest in being around others who can challenge your thinking…
- Go to local Meetups and Seminars so you can make “new friends”….
- Pray….
Knowing What it Will Take…
- Do what you must, so you can create an atmosphere of change in your life!
- It won’t happen overnight, and you can’t do it by yourself.
- You know to encourage and invite instruments of change in your life…
Those instruments are:
- Spiritual Guidance: this comes with giving God “Permission” to come into your life
- Friends who can elevate your think: this comes by investing in those who are where you desire to be, and doing what you must to massage those relationships…. sometimes that means “serving others” so you can learn from them….
- Books, Podcasts, Blog Posts, Tele-Seminars, Webinars: these are FREE tools that you can access ANYTIME, ANYWHERE… but you must take the time to go through and research them online… read them… and actually implement what you learn in your life!
The Bible tells us, You can’t put new wine in old wineskin… so that means:
“YOU MUST CHANGE WHO YOU’VE BEEN, TO MAKE ROOM FOR WHO YOU DESIRE TO BECOME!!”
- There’s so much more in you begging to come out…
- You’re so much greater than your circumstances…
- You are destined for success…
- You deserve success…
- You ARE GOOD ENOUGH!!… Despite your past…
- Forgive yourself because YOU ARE FORGIVEN….
- You are more powerful than you realize….
- There is a whole generation of people, waiting on you to let your light shine….
Here’s What it Will Take…
- So please let it shine..
- Please allow yourself to maximize your potential…
- Please stop playing yourself small to make others comfortable..
- Be okay with being alone on your endeavors…
- Know that everyone won’t accept you…
- Know that everyone won’t support your dream…
- Know that everyone won’t be happy for you…
- Know that God has given you everything you need to succeed…
Therefore friend.. today… challenge yourself to LEARN A NEW WAY OF THINKING…
SO YOU CAN BECOME WHO YOU DESIRE TO BE!!
